Salut Rolf,

no, it is not THE configuration directory, in "~/.local/share/" are a
lot of programs the user installed, it shall collect the huge number of
dot directories in "~/", which are still exists nowadays, at least on my
box.
The configuration directory is "~/.config" 
Dot directories shall hide them for the user, but Programmers know about
dot directories. 

The packages from sfn have a checksum, from gambas software farm I don't
know.
And I think, there is no doubt about the activities NSA, sfn is hosted
in the USA.
